Here's Why PSG's Gueye Has "Gana" On His Shirt
Paris Saint-Germain recently unveiled Idrissa Gueye, previously of Everton, as the latest addition to its star-studded squad. But why does the midfielder wear the name "Gana" on the back of his shirt? Let's find out.
Gueye, who played in Ligue 1 before, for Lille, used to wear his more common name on the back then. He changed the name to "Gana" when already in England.
In an interview with the Liverpool Echo following his transfer to Everton in 2016, Gueye explained why he has "Gana" on his jersey. Gana is the middle name given to him by his father as a tribute to his grandfather. He said that wearing his name was out of respect.

Turkey 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Revealed - Streamlined Nike Template for Smaller Nations
Nike's preparations for the 2026 World Cup are being finalized with the reveal of the new Turkey pre-match shirt.
Rather than receiving a bespoke design, the new Nike Turkey 2026 World Cup pre-match jersey utilizes a highly visible, streamlined template that the American sportswear brand will be rolling out across its wider portfolio of sponsored national federations.
The defining feature of the Turkey 2026 pre-match shirt is its bold, all-over geometric graphic. The template consists of tightly packed, wavy zig-zag lines that warp and curve to create a dynamic optical illusion across the entire torso and sleeves. For the Turkish national team, this busy pattern is executed in vibrant, contrasting shades of red and dark orange.
Nike is applying this exact same streamlined template to several other national teams, simply adjusting the color palettes to suit each country. European sides like Norway and Finland, alongside South American heavyweights Uruguay, will all sport identical pre-match designs featuring their respective national colors applied to the same wavy graphic.
